My memory is a little hazy but didn't MSDOS 4 have problems that could cause data loss? I thought I remember everyone avoiding it like the plague because of this..
I don't understand how the 5th circuit can make the decision that these laws are ok when they should be bound by the supreme court's decision in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union.
We've done this entire thing once before with the communications decency act of 96. The ACLU sued, it went to the supreme court and the supreme court struck down government mandated age verification..
They finally built Nagios.
What about Reno vs ACLU?
They basically said the exact opposite of this 9-0.
This has literally already been litigated and the supreme court ruled that this part of the communications decency act was unconstitutional.
But the supreme court held in 1996 that this same stupid thing was illegal when it was being called the Communications Decency act. The jury has spoken, its just that seems like precedent doesn't matter anymore.
A firewall is what gives what marginal protection there is to be had for the vast majority of idiots using the internet.
TFA says "This has gone on for a long time, and only the fact that Red Hat made a public distribution of CentOS (essentially an unbranded version of RHEL) made it tolerable. "
Your description of CentOS is correct, but my complaint is with making it sound like RH did this out of the bottom of their hearts out of some loyalty to the OSS community which they did not.
They were not the original creators of the distribution.
It's inaccurate to say that Redhat *made* CentOS.
Yes, eventually CentOS joined RH and RH eventually killed it off; however it was originally a community project based on just compiling RHEL from source.
I could very easily factor 10^(10^1000)...
You could in principle simulate a quantum computer but the complexity bounds are astronomical to do so...
Sounds alot like the whole Michael Atiyah saga with the riemann hypothesis a few years ago right before he passed away..
We have some ideas of what the theoretical speedups would be - independent of hardware, Grover's algorithm only gives a quadratic speedup....
They've also strengthened schemes in the past - they made changes to the S-boxes in DES that people thought for years might have been funny business but it turns out they fixed issues with techniques that were not yet widely known publically.
Gee, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
